Thanks for checking in Lance, the control lines were fun to rig.....made easier without turnbuckles.

Excellent work Ryan - I have to echo Lance's words on the rigging in the cockpit.
Cheers,

Sorry Ryan - I had some time away recently and somehow lost track of this thread. The cockpit details are of a standard that I would like to have - but don't! The details make the model look very much larger than it really is.

Thanks Mr. Edmundson, I like em clean and tidy.

Stephen, Hello, the details are just basic skills....I have just been doing them for ages!

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,

If the cockpit details are "just basic skills" to you then I think that I will give up modelling and go and try something easier - like walking!

The IP is stunning - so sharp and clear and yet so tiny. The remainder of the cockpit detail matches the IP - brilliant.

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen, if I only had your scratch building skills!

Onto to the seat, I had originally bought HGW belts, but they had delaminated during construction and became unusable.

So out came the kit belts, I find it easier to paint them glued to the seat. Once the glue had set, the seat was painted first with dark rubber and then flat brown. Note that the area to fit the seat in is very tight, I had to position the belts far aft so it will hopefully fit!

Very well done IP and interior details, Ryan.   I can see differences between this interior and the one on the newest issue of the Pup - throttle assembly and ammo storage not on the newest version.

[RAGIII]

The interior looks awesome and the seat and belts are progressing well!

Ken, I believe the ammo storage option is only on the sea going version of the pup.

Thanks RAG!

You’ve obviously got a magical macro camera Ryan, where can I get one?
